Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts exits game after play at plate

Boston Red Sox star Mookie Betts left Saturday's game against the Baltimore Orioles after suffering a left foot contusion on a play at home plate.

The Red Sox said X-rays came back negative.

Betts' leg bent awkwardly as the All-Star outfielder slid into Orioles catcher Chance Sisco while attempting to avoid a tag in the bottom of the first inning.

Betts limped back to the dugout and, after high-fiving several teammates, went down the steps into the Red Sox clubhouse with trainers. He initially stayed in the game and had another at-bat in the second inning before being replaced by Blake Swihart before the top of the fourth.
